Every year, <\/span>the humpback whales<\/b> they prepare for a long journey to the warm waters of<\/span> Dominican Republic<\/b>, making it the perfect opportunity to observe these fantastic creatures in their natural habitat. <\/span>In the following post, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about the<\/span>Humpback Whale Watching in Saman\u00e1 Bay.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t During their stay, it is truly impressive to see the males, with their bodies weighing around 40 tons, leaping <\/span>out of the water to seduce the females. But you won’t only be able to observe the males, <\/span>you’ll be able to see the mothers playing with their newly born calves.<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, it’s important for the whale calves to strengthen themselves as quickly as possible to face the journey that awaits them back to the cold waters of the northern hemisphere. Because of this, they consume about 200 liters of mother’s milk every day, reaching an approximate weight of 45 kilograms.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t There are two ways to enjoy this incredible spectacle.
